Chicago shootings way down in 2023, only 2110 shootings and 522 murders!

[MarathonMike]

The good news is shootings and murders are down 10% year over year but unfortunately robberies and carjackings are up 50 percent. And it's "good news" only if you look at comparisons to recent years. I don't think any rational person would cheer for over 2000 shootings and 522 murders in 10 months.

From WTTP in Chicago:

However, police data also shows the number of robberies (25% increase) and motor vehicle thefts (up 59%) recorded year-to-date have risen dramatically compared to recent years.


There were 269 people shot in Chicago across the month of October, which includes 15 people who were wounded during a mass shooting at a Halloween party in North Lawndale. Even so, the number of people shot last month was down 8% compared to October 2022 and was also below totals from the same month in 2021 and 2020.


Through the first 10 months of 2023, there have been 2,110 shootings and 522 homicides recorded in Chicago, totals which are down 13% and 12% respectively, year-over-year.

Good news-Bad news

It's quite meaningless if it's not looked at as America's statistics overall.

Mass shootings are going through the roof.

disclaimer: It's not the gun's fault.

It isn't meaningless at all to examine Chicago's insane level of drug gang fueled shootings and murders that happen every year like clockwork. It is a perfect example of how the American Left and Democrats in particular are able to suppress anything, even war-zone level carnage among poor Black people.

So happy that Democrat policies are producing these desirable outcomes .. It's a good thing this sanctuary city doesn't have any illegal aliens residing or being transferred in the area.

If that's the case .. why?

Foreigners need not try to invent distinctions. America is America and people such as 2Aguy need to deal with it that way.

You have one chance to ask a proper question.

You've made a claim ... why is a perfectly great question. Otherwise, it's just the same old talking points regurgitated.

No question. We're finished.

Okay .. then your point is irrelevant. Thanks
